After the House of Fraser pension pay out surprise the other month, my old pension with Scottish life from 2002 - 2004 wants to pay me back £1250.00. I only paid in about £144.00. excellent! Now I will have money to go and see Garth as well as buy the car!! yayyyy Apparently anyone over 55 with a dormant pension with less than £18.000 to pay out can get their money instead of waiting.
Nice to hear that someone has done well out of pensions.
Do you remember pension holidays - and then ten years later the same firms who took the holidays said there was nt enough in the funds so you lot can all take a cut and we will keep ours (sort of)
they said i could have £312.69 now and £34.53 a month in 8 years, £46.04 a year in 8 years and no lump sum, or the whole £1250.72 now, (less 20% f***** tax of course, )
It was a no brainer really, the garth tickets and hotel and travel will be taken care of and if i live to 100 years old i'll always have that memory to keep me warm (though probably I won't know why lol )
after I pay for the car on 30th november I will have £600.00 left to buy a big tele. : 0 If I'm going to retire in 8 years on buttons I best get a decent tele now that will last me into my dotage. Who says I don't plan ahead? lol
I've got another one somewhere too, but I'll have to really track it down as it was with the old Yorkshire Building Society and I don't think they exist now, at least not in wigan where they used to be.
